生命の樹

TREE OF LIFE

Symbolized by the Bodhi tree, various animals gather around the Buddha, portraying
co-existence of all living beings on earth.Believed to be the central cosmic pillar of architecture from ancient times, the tree links earth and sky. Buddha’s symbol, the tree, wanting nothing for itself, causes rain, retains water in soil, offers fruit, flower and shelter, and warmth when burnt. It absorbs Carbon-di-oxide from air, produces Oxygen, and over time connects various forms of life.
